🌳 We're very excited to announce the largest tree planting scheme the Borough has ever seen!
🌲 We plan to plant an additional 160,000 trees in the Borough over the next ten years - that's one tree for every resident by 2030!
🌱 Our tree challenge will provide the opportunity for local people, groups and businesses to be involved and make a difference.
... 🏡 Alongside this, we aim to introduce rules for developers to ensure any development leads to a net gain in trees.
